Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has laid down a challenge to two of his attackers after their impressive start to the Premier League season.
Jeremy Doku joined the Citizens in the last transfer window, filling the void left by Riyad Mahrez who made the move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
The Belgium international has been starting ahead of Jack Grealish on the left flank, but Guardiola insist the one who performs will cement a starting berth.

"Jeremy can play on the right as well,' Guardiola said, as per Daily Mail.
"Who's going to play more? It's who performs better. It's simple. Phil (Foden) can play on the left too.
"The guy who performs well and feels better will have more chance to play."
Guardiola also has the tough task of finding a replacement for Rodri, who misses the next three games for the treble winners,
"It is what it is. You have to find solutions. We're not here to complain. The players want to come back. We have to recover and be ready," he added.
"Kalvin has a chance like the other ones. He's part of the group, made incredible contributions. I don't have any complaints. Sometimes we're looking for specifics for certain type of skills.
"Maybe he struggles a bit more when it's about details. It was a tough game against Newcastle, he helped us a lot against Nottingham Forest."
